Hey Josh, I know in the Colorado market where I operate, current interest rates are making it hard to find cash flowing properties and investors who locked in lower rates are really benefiting from the unprecedented sharp rise in rental rates coupled with those low interest rates.   

People do business with people they like and trust and if you can add value to a guy like that, he will like you, trust you, and he may send you his million dollar listings that he doesn't have time for.There are some sharp looking cats in those classes but don't let that deceive you.

One more piece of advice: I was exactly in your shoes when I started, and by 29, I was sitting pretty, but just be warned people may not take you seriously, so be extra organized, extra sharp.

My pkeasure, if and when you have more questions, do post them, answering questions of this caliber helps keep us sharp.

And to have an all-in budget of $50K you better have a very sharp pencil.
